Clear cache and data of all apps related to the watch (wear,plugin,s health)

Uninstalled all these apps

Restarted my watch and install wear app

Manually installed "Gear S Plugin 2.2.03.18083041N"

Installed s health app

Yesterday night I charged my watch to %100 at 11.30PM and went to sleep.

When I woke up at 07.00AM my charge was %95. Now It is 09.10AM here and I have %90 charge.

Problem solved for me I guess. After I made a quick research about this gear s plugin, I saw that there is a new version published at 17th of October which name is "Gear S Plugin 2.2.03.18101561" you can manually install this via apk. I will try this version tonight but for now my problem seems to be solved with "Gear S Plugin 2.2.03.18083041N"

I tried disabling sleep tracking from the Samsung Health app on my phone. That was what did the trick for me, I did NOT disable 'report diagnostics'.So either there are two ways to fix the bug or the bug has been fixed centrally yesterday and we're all just assosiating the fix to something we have actively done on our own devices...

"Thanks for letting us know about your experience. We have identified that this has impacted some Gear S3/Gear Sport users on particular software versions. This has been resolved in an upcoming software update. Do make sure to keep your device up to date.

Troubleshooting steps

- Reset your phone and Galaxy Wearable

- Check your phone and Galaxy Wearable are on the latest software version

- Check all of your apps are up to date (Galaxy Apps and Play Store)

o Does this improve performance?

- If performance does not improve:

o Please submit an Error Report via Samsung Wearable app

o Please Factory Data Reset the wearable and see if you see improvements:

To back up your Gear, using your mobile phone:

From the Galaxy Wearable app, select About watch. The app may appear as Samsung Gear.

Select Back up and restore.

Select Backup settings.

Once you are happy that it's backed up, perform a factory data reset:

From the apps screen, select Settings.

Select Gear info.

Select Reset Gear."

Plus, as I said above, keep letting us know if the disabling of the'Reporting diagnostic and usage info', or any other things you've tried (like in @KristinSMotz's or @mertberkea's posts above) have had an effect in your case.

All - here is the response that i just received via US Customer Service via twitter:

To increase the battery life on the Gear after the update please follow the steps below ↓ •On the Gear tap on setting; •Tap on Gear info. •Tap Report diagnostic and usage info (Disable this feature) Test the watch for a few days to see how the battery works.

UPDATE...THIS WORKED. I WENT TO BED FULLY CHARGED AND WOKE UP WITH 95% BATTERY. I'LL TAKE THAT!
